Well, I have said many times that I wanted to see the pre season before I made any predictions, but I have a bad feeling that we haven' seen anything resembling our season yet. With that said, I am going to make my picks with a little homerism but it still won't be pretty....

Folks on this message board won't read my win/loss record for the entire season, so this post is nothing but a "Wild Ass Guess", I'm going to predict a repeat 7-9 record this year....which will not land us at the head of the line for Mr. Luck.

@ 49ers - Win - 49ers actually appear to be worse off right now than we do as our defense holds them under 200 yards@ Steelers - Loss - Look like they havent lost a step from last year and will be superbowl contenderCardinals - Win - Kevin Kolb isn't ready to carry that team over us at homeFalcons - Loss - Their running game is great and will take out whatever edge the 12th man gives us@ Giants - Loss - Toss up here for me, but I think we lose in a good, close game@ Browns - Win - Browns are improving yes, but Colt Mccoy isn't going to beat us and their D doesn't scare me at allBengals - Win - Feel bad for those fans@ Cowboys - Win - I expect a better season out of them and a good game, but I have a feeling we'll take this oneRavens - Loss - Same as Stealers, looking good@ Rams - Loss - Lots of emotions for this team at home against us, finally might have another good team in NFCWRedskins - Win - Improving team without much talent yet, will get better but not hereEagles - Loss - Too much talent across the board, their CBs can lock up WR and blitz the hell out of us all game, I imagine lots of TJack threads afterRams - Win - We bring more intensity to this game at home and win a close one to take 1st place@ Bears - Win - With better O line play and this revamped D, last years playoff game is much different49ers - Win - We wont lose to the 49ers at home again! lol and solidify first place in division@ Cardinals - Loss - We wont be in a spot to move up from 4th in the NFC playoffs so we rest starters and see our young talent lose a close one

9-7 4th in NFC getting the Bears at home in the first round and beat the tar out of Jay Cutler with 8 sacks and 3 picks!

I like your prediction.....it might come true if everyone stays healthy.....but you know the probability of that happening!

I like this prediction too. Maybe not exact numbers but the theory behind it, getting better as the season wears on ( I am assuming that theory, in actuality you might be solely basing your numbers on schedule?). The younger guys showing their expected progress and contributing to being a little more of a solid team down the stretch. Being more solid won't always translate to more wins though, as long as we are seeing some tough battles and no blow outs and something to build on going into next year considering our QB situation I think it would be a success.

Doesn't it seem that with dynasty teams, several players a year are changed out because of injuries, draft, retirement, etc., but the overall scheme and rotation remains constant? Predicting W/L record is probably easier. They're winners so they change less; they move players less so they win more. It's like a cat chasing its tail.

I agree with Dan. PC and JS have made it difficult to guage, regardless of who I root for. Optimist in me wants 10-6 or better; defeatist says there's no floor to how bad we may be.

Gut feeling? I can't see us loosing both games to the 9ers, to Cincy, or Cleveland. Throw in a couple more, and I'm predicting 5-11.

If we play several close, heart-breaker type games above this, I'd call it a successful year based on our crazy rotating O-line, rooks, and nearly brand-new D.

at San Francisco 49ers - WIN - Alex's world is rocked early when he becomes the filling in a Clemons/Bryant sandwich Earl and Tru both get a INT.

at Pittsburgh Steelers - WIN - Rothlesburger accidentaly sneezes while performing felatio on Roger Goodell, (part of their agreement) They are able to reattach his member but Ben is permanently banned from the NFL. The rest of the team, angry at missing all the fun performs poorly.

vs Arizona Cardinals - Win - In a surprise move Larry Fizgerald retires from football to become Dean of Pheonix university.

6-10 and thats quite optimistic with a win on Sunday @ SF. I just think the 9ers are in even worse shape than us. If we are going to win a road game, its going to be against a bad team right out of the gates. Rams at home late in the season is another one Im on the fence about, but I can see us splitting with the Rams.
